— H E N R Y E . S T E I N WAY

Since 1853, steinway & sons has been making

instruments so passionately crafted that it takes dozens

of artisans with decades of experience up to twelve

months to create… one.

The very f irst steinway & sons patent was granted in

1857, and since that time the company has earned

more than 135 additional patents, positioning steinway

as the piano by which all others are judged.

S T E I N WAY & S O N S

In 2015, steinway & sons introduced spirio , the f irst

player piano to capture the electricity of live performance.

The evolution continues with spirio | r .

bench O P T I O N A L

The steinway spirio | r is the world’s f inest high

resolution player piano capable of live performance

capture and playback.

A revolutionary blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and

technology, spirio | r provides powerful new tools of

expression and new ways to access, share and experience

performance — enriching connection and intimacy.

First and foremost, spirio | r can be played like any other

steinway , the instrument artists have chosen for over

165 years for its broad palette, warmth and depth of tone,

powerful resonance, and unmatched touch response.

Much like the megapixel revolution of the digital camera,

spirio | r offers exclusive high-resolution recording,

preserving all the music: every nuanced dynamic level

from infinitesimal gradations of hammer velocity, and

every shade of resonance from proportional pedaling —

now at your f ingertips.

The artisans at steinway & sons seamlessly install

spirio | r technology at the time of manufacture, ensuring

no alteration in the musical performance nor compromise

in the instrument’s beauty.
